Summary: My middle-of-the-night companion
Comment: After taking two breastfeeding classes through WIC (Women, Infants and Children) and two classes ofered through my hospital - I didn't want to hear another insight on breastfeeding - everything any instructor said always contradicted the other person...I really wasn't planning on reading anything on breastfeeding, because I didn't think there was anything to it...out of all of my childcare books, every reference seemed so clinical - and boring. When my son was born via emergency cesearean on the 4th of January, I was visited by a lactation consultant in my recovery room. Though we were progressing wonderfully and he was latching on fine - I was surprised with all of the questions I suddenly had...after all, I was planning on doing this for AT LEAST 9 months...she recommended this book, I ordered it from Amazon (and it arrived quickly in pristine condition!) and it really is great. I have questions every day and we are now on week 3 of nursing. If you are pregnant (or already have a child for that matter!) and think that you might need a breastfeeding book - get this one. The layout is great and all info. very relevant and helpful.

Summary: A valuable guide for breastfeeding moms
Comment: My first child's step-grandmother gave me an old copy of this book when she was born and I had decided to nurse her. I put the book on the shelf and, as an exhausted first-time working mom, never got around to reading it. Now I'm a new mom again, and one day I randomly picked the book off the shelf and finally read it. What a wonderful book! I sincerely wish I had read it BEFORE I had my first baby. Besides being a great resource on the how-to's of breastfeeding, the book covers all the difficult problems and issues the nursing mom may face. Huggins describes and helps you diagnose nursing problems, and provides good information about how and why these problems may occur. Her advice and solutions are clear, concise, and highlighted throughout the book. I had planned to breastfeed my daughter for at least a year, but she weaned at 9 months. When I read this book, I thought of all the things I could have done differently (and better) when I had nursed my daughter. This time around I am determined to breastfeed my son for at least a year. When I run into nursing problems, I will refer to Dr. Sears to remind myself why I decided to breastfeed in the first place, then I'll refer to this book to figure out how to overcome them.

Summary: I love this book!
Comment: If this book interfered with parenting style, then I ingnored it. I needed something to teach me how to breast feed and help me through any problems that might come up, because I knew I wasn't going to get any help from anyone I know. And this did just that. It showed basic techniques and covered everything that could possibly go wrong. And when my milk supply dwindled (I had twins) this book helped me double it. As to rather or not it was preachy on breastfeeding is the best way, I didn't notice and didn't care. It did what I needed it to.
